This slight variance is quite common for all originalmovie posters. : Poster that was issued for a movie by the National ScreenService (NSS), or by a movie studio, or by another company authorized by thestudio for display in an actual movie theater or for promotional use at thetime of the films release. Rereleaseand posters with "Academy Award" on them are also"original" but they are usually considered less desirable. NSS (National Screen Service): From 1939 until themid-1980's the NSS distributed almost 90% of all American movie posters. During the 1960's and 70's they had at least 6 regional print shops: NewJersey, Cleveland, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Wichita, and Dallas.
Theyproduced, printed, distributed and stocked all of the materials for mostof the major movie studios. NSS was bought out by Technicolor, Inc.
Movie studios mostly now print and distribute their own advertisingmaterials. Folded & Rolled Posters: Older posters, prior tothe mid 1980's were usually (not always) issued folded while newer postersare issued rolled. Vintage original movie posters were normally printed invery limited quantities, thus they are rarer.All of them were not meantto be saved. Authentic original movie posters usually contain an NSSinformation tag/paragraph and number.
However, this is not always true. There are plenty of original movie posters that do not contain NSS info. To complicate matters, just because a poster has an NSS tagline, NSSnumber, and a GAU (printer's union) logo, does not necessarily mean it isan original movie poster.
There are many fakes and reprints that have thisprinted on them to make them appear more authentic. Studio (non NSS) issued posters: Considered original. These were a different print run at the time of the films initial releaseoften printed directly for or by the studio for promotion and as giveawaysto industry insiders. Not necessarily for use in an actual theater, butsometimes they did make their way there. May differ slightly or be exactlythe same as the NSS printing (except for NSS tag and number at thebottom).In many cases these are rarer than the NSS issued poster. Common standard sizes include: One Sheet 27"x41"or 27"x40", Insert 14"x36", Half Sheet22"x28", Three Sheet 41"x81", Lobby Card11"x14", Window Card 14"x22".
Measurements on thesecan vary slightly, but usually by no more than a half inch or so. ADVANCE (ADV): Issued well in advance (usually manymonths) of a film's release. Very often similar tothe regular issue but with an added line of text like "Coming ThisChristmas". TEASER (TSR): Issued before a film is released. Designed to pique interest "teasing" byshowing very little.Very often contains plain text or a single picturewithout text. Usually rarer than the regular issues.
INTERNATIONAL STYLE (INTL): A poster made in theU. Often featuring different artwork, butsometimes they use almost the same exact artwork/design. Sometimes theartwork/photos are more risqué and sometimes they feature an alternatetitle. STYLE A, B, C, D: Studios often issued many differentstyles of one sheets for the same movie. To differentiatethem they were often marked as "Style A" or "Style B"etc.
DOUBLE-SIDED (DS): In the early 1990's some studiosstarted issuing movie posters that were printed on both sides. Thisprocess makes the poster stand out more in a theater light box display. Today, most posters are printed with single sided and double sidedversions.RE-RELEASE (RR): Re-release or reissue posters areoriginal theater used movie posters, but have considerably lesser valuethan a first release poster. Most often you can determine a reissue bylooking at the bottom of your poster in the right hand corner. There willusually be an "R" in front of a year number - as in"R56" - if it is a reissue. Other clues are phrases such as"An Encore Hit", "Brought Back by Popular Demand" or"Nothing Cut But the Prices".
TRI-FOLDED: A poster with three machine fold horizontalfoldlines but no vertical machine foldline.
